Money, Possessions and Eternity - by Randy Alcorn (Paperback)

Alcorn uses the Bible to approach this often touchy subject head-on, sounding a wake-up call to Christians who have adopted the world's attitude towards wealth and prosperity. Thought-provoking arguments challenge readers to change their attitudes and use their God-given resources in ways that will impact eternity.
